meeting was called to insist that nobody
had the right to pronounce upon the fit

England, the very first resolu-
ton they themselves passed was
most sweeping expression of their
opinion of Lord LanSdowne'S fitness,
thus doing the very same thing them
selves which they insisted nobody in
Canada had right to do [laughterl, and

THE IRISH NUISANCE.
God knows it grieveS us to be obliged to
worry you with the sorrows of our poor
people, but it is not we who have intro

Loud and prolonged applausel. The

plague spot where 5000 Irish emigrants
fell to the greed of Irish landlordiSm.
[Groans.l The survivors and friends of
those people are in power i'll Canada to-

longer be flung out to starve and die
without a tear Of pity for their fate. No
matter how great or strong or proud
that tyrant may be, public opinion is
now strong enough to track him all over
the globe, and make Lord LanSdowne
feel the weight Of public censure here in
the land where his fathers victims could
find only plague shed and a
grave" Great cheering and waving of
handkerchiefs.] Dennis Kilbride, the
evicted tenant, also spoke and arraigned
the action of both Lord Lmsdowne and
the Orangemen in severe terms. Mr..

"NOne was necessary" replied the

When the speeches began
ANOTHER DISPLAY OF ROwDYISM
by Orangemen was made. A fife and
drum band started out and paraded up
and down Kingston street, playing

Water,' "God Save the Queen" and
Rule Brittania." This drew consider
able crowds who cheered Justify and
groaned hoarsely, but as the diners

honor, Mr.. O'Brien said:
We have been engaged to-day in fighting
not merely the battle of the Lugacurran ten
